 Welcome back to FC 24. Are we still at road? I'm still staying road to survival cos I still think that that should be. We lose eight points, which is what it is now, isn't it? That's not going to happen. We're going to take it off. We're on boxing day now and it's not happening, which means we've obviously... No, we're going to impose... Os, as managers, have had a stronger influence. We've said to the Premier League, we're not having this and they've gone OK. So we're still on 29 points. And now we're 7th. Masters has lost his job already in our little simulation world. In that world, not the channel. We're 7th, we're both Man City, we're 29 points, we're three points behind Villa, we were 6th. And the five points behind Newcastle were 5th, we're currently 7th. This is going great. I'm saying road to Champions League more than road to survival. OK, OK. Although we have got a huge... We're playing Manchester City now. Quite alarmingly for them, I've lost six of their 18 games, which is not... You know, I would have expected more from Manchester City. We've won five on the run, we are flying. If we make it six on the run, then I will start to believe. Obviously Beto's got a play out of that last game, scoring a hat trick. Brace. Danyrwm has scored a brace as well, but he's absolutely knackered. I'll really look at getting McNeill in there. Brandon Thwys got no chance to last in this game, has he? If he can't last, I wouldn't start him. Oh, jeez. One of them's going to have to play a half, aren't they? Yeah, it's hard for them to play the first half. Go on then. What's the issue with Patterson? Younger left-back, Patterson a right-back. That's it. It's just that I always want to do more than Anna. No, I always knackered. The glory there. Jesus. No, go down, go down. It's just that I have this nice image in there. I reckon James Garner on the right field and maybe... Go on then. Go on then, it's next to more than Anna. Let's get to your home, let's do it now. Come on. Let's get a 4-point gap on Manchester City. Blamblew this time. That's the rule of the treat. People behind the ball. Feel the first 10, 15 minutes out of the game. I feel for the guy. Get tight, get tight. That's it, hold them up, that's okay. That's it. No, no, no, no. Slightly too easy. Okay. Let's just keep hold of it. Keep it there, keep it there. Centre-back's your ball. Don't wait. Oh, no. Why wouldn't you come to the ball then? Do you think that's cos he's knackered? I don't know. Why wouldn't you come to the ball then? I honestly thought... Yeah, that's really poor. Come to the ball, hold it. I wonder if that's because he's absolutely knackered. I haven't even been there, have I? Okay, all right, come on. Come on. That's a bad challenge, that referee. No reason at all why it won't be this man, Stuart, when he went to debate seeing from him. Well, that's a very impressive return. Well done, just hold them up. And it's not just been his goals, he's all round. Let's try a little on it. Let's break. This is the moment we get in there half. That's what you call. We're in there half now, we're in there half. He's done well. Go on, go on, do it. Yes. Yes, I'm well done. Monies. I've got to pick up those second balls, lads. He's got it in the box anyway. Well done. Brilliant shot to that. Nice. Ah, the pressin' was really well done. Well done. It's like Ole Miss. He did get all the Ole Miss like that. That's the same ball. Hold it. Oh, played. Get off, don't look. Yes, Betel's in there. Ah. Greatest cross. Oh, that's all right. Better, though. It's ready. Nice. Great, Dwight. It's a good block to be fair. Come, you win it. Melt. Nice. Hold it, hold it. Referee. All right, all right, forced on back. All right, back in. A bit of a late challenge. I don't think we've been too bad, it's just that. That was a real ball. I don't know if you can see it. It's moment ready break. It's safe. Oh, don't go back and put that. Oh, great. Slip is shown. It's too late, but it was still a swipe. Game's gone. Clatter is a defender from behind, a game's gone. Great ball. It's just that. Unlocked. You're a bit welcome, too. I can't believe I'm spaced a fine. Newn. They are so dangerous at me. He is struggling here isn't he? Yeah, he is absolutely goose. It seems to react too late. Great touch. Oh, he's not quite the right ball, but he's got the cut it back. Yes, oh, no. It was that! I didn't know I was doing it. Getting an insight into your bedroom activities. I don't know what to make of that noise. I don't know, I don't get that excited about it. The place is so slow today. He's just used the last of his energy. He's falling over now. No, no, no, no, no. It's going to change, Jordan. He's going to come off. He's just gone past Tarkovski. As if he wasn't there. Right. We've begun short now. Weld o jammy. Great. Well done. Go on, you're away. Hold it, hold it. There goes Beto o Dacori. I think it's Dacori. That's a good ball there. No shot. That was a great goal there. It's a great, the class has shown. Yeah, they're just too good. Way too knackered. That is a great run. We're going to have to put my cooking on a lifetime. Yeah, definitely. He's gone on. Maybe like a couple of other little changes. It nails your ball. Yeah, that's right. One more. Nice. Got a turn going, man. Nice. Nice. Beto o Dacori. Obviously, great move. Oh. You've got a shot away. You've got a shot away. Not a great half, obviously. They're a better side. You look more dangerous. You've got more ability. Maybe playing him was a bad idea. Maybe a fully fit. Oh, no. Oh, no. Branswate. No, you know what? We're getting beat out with two-nil. That's a bad dish. A Kensi, ydw. Ashley Young's centreback. Addison and Godfrey's centreback. Oh, na ne? We're going down. They've got pace, haven't they? We're getting done with two-nil down. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you want to give us something else? Oh, na ne? It's going off. Cos he's just off it as well. The pace on the right. And then we'll make the other couple of changes just a bit in minutes. Yeah. After an hour maybe. Done, and so you bring done. Maybe there they are, ain't it? Left-back's about lovely. A little bit of what man's city, though. Look at that. Lovely. Tim. Brilliant. Oh, oh, no. Too long to shoot. Yeah. That was great football, ah? Lovely football. I know we've made some, like, changes, but... I know we did, eh? Just catching simple. Yeah. Easy balls. Wait for the opportunity. Let's keep it tight for a few minutes. Give man's city something to think about. As we're right back in, eh, do you hear? Heck, thought it was all over. It might be in a minute. It's not giving anything away, silly darling. See, just where we are for fine. Oh, god. Just man's pass to everybody. Oh, he's a dutch there. Oh. On the after, as well. Oh, there we go. Oh, these short corners absolutely do worse for me. No. I'm a Chelsea when they scored four goals in short corners. Yeah. Right, let's get to it up there. Right. Oh, shot. Out, out. Oh, no, James. Straight into danger. Oth, gwsraith. Got a ramwg arna. He knows. It's a little bit short, that pass. I'm going, I'm going. Oh, it's a great first ball there. Keep it. Oh, right. Well done. Nice. Why's your ball? Why's my net play rock going? Oh, it's the right ball. That's all the play wasn't getting there. Oh, he spun Mackenzie Hund. Straight into it. I don't know why he keep that in. Win this. Change the corners, though. For me, what? Hard on off the line. Out, out. Yes, I'll do it. On the nail. Get on side, Beto. Get on it, where are you? Here's the runner, here's the runner. Hold it, hold it. Oh, win it. Beto's in it, they're all in it. Oh! Good play. Do we make another change? Yeah, let's do it now. Let's do the two changes. Double up. Let's see where everyone is. The corey. Put the corey back into the middle. Take James Garner off. See. Yad drwy Chimete. Chimete? Over Deli Alley. Done really well against Tottenham. It's got quality. Over Deli in there. I mean, we all space about 100 million here. A chance to win a game. I'll get Dominic Alvalewin on for Beto. Come on here, Ned. Two-one. Shall we go, Shores? I'll go for back post. I'll look at this stone. Near post. My dad won near post. I'll pull that down a bit. It's a fucker. Meet the block. Come on, pull this. Oh! It's passing much power. It's not bad though, it's not bad. It's not bad. In that forwards. Well done. That's me. Nice. Early through, isn't it? Oh, terrible ball, Mackenzie. The right side here though, won it. The right side here. That's still in. Yeah, somehow. Oh, no. I don't know. I like to think you should get goals. No, got a shot there. I like, I like, I like. Jack Leel is holding up. Mackenzie. I didn't get away from you. No, well done. Get it, Delly. No, no, no, no. Well done. Well done, man. Oh, nice. Oh, no. Good save. He's getting booked here now, what's going on? I was off shot though. Oh, off shot, thank God. Right back she put. I'll play. Same ball. Nice. Lovely. Delly. Dobbins gone. Brilliant. Oh, he's got it. Delly's gone, really. Nice, one more. I don't have any desire to take the touch. It's just a bit heavy. I don't have any. You know when you knock it out. I don't have any knock it out before. Oh. Come on, can we? Great tackle. Brilliant. One more quickly. Oh, yeah. Just a final ball every time, innit? Oh. Good save. Well done. That's a really important save, but can they get back into this match? I'm not sure they can. Good tackle. That'll do. Back with a great tackle. The pitch, Ned. Six minutes to play. Same ball. Go on. Get across them now. Oh, shoot. Go on, press, Dobbins. Oh, lucky. I think you're a bit more tired, innit? I just wanted it. Get a shot. No, just from where we were, cos it was so late. I wanted to just make sure you didn't lose the ball. Oh. Oh, no, no, no. Great cover in Ashley Young, lad. Oh, Ben. Come on, last chance. Get it up quickly. Oh, no. That's a big load. Oh. You know what, we gave that a good go, didn't we? We won the second half. I think our fans will be proud of us for that. With that team we had to get back in it. We gave that a great go, didn't we? We were by far the better team, the second half. They were nothing. Jack Reelis has got the ball, it's Braddy. Braddy? We've designed him for them. God knows. Oh, well, the win and runners come to an end, but you know what, I thought we'd give that a right go, considering we went 2-0 down early on. Yeah. Because obviously... They're still the same quality city. It shows you, I wasn't early on. We went 1-0 down early on, but winning that first half at all, the second half we were in it. I thought we did really well. Maybe Tarkovsky was just too tired to play at all. We go to Wolves next, don't we? Got Wolves, shall we? Got to go to Wolves and get a positive result. And I'll come on. We can do it, Ned. We can do it. Join us next time for when we make the trip to Mollingewa. Win and run, sadly, has come to an end Manchester City. It beat us and gone ahead of us, but we will be looking to bounce back against Wolves. Didn't they beat us early on? We did, didn't we? That's the first fall. We are out for revenge at Mollingewa against Wolves. Make sure you're there to see if we can overtain the mighty Wolves. See you later.
